Chapter 1279: Black Gold
forehead
Zhang Chunping and Guo Ye were also a little dumbfounded, what they said was very good, if it was to build thousands of kilometers in the plains of the southeast coast, or even tens of thousands of kilometers of railways, it was nothing, after all, as a rich and developed region, it would not take long to recover the cost, but the trunk line from Mongolia to Jiangdong across the east and west is not good, this trunk line of 5,000 kilometers, not to mention the investment of 80 million taels of silver, the annual maintenance cost is not a few, counting on this railway to make money, it is even more difficult, Almost all of them are sparsely populated areas, and what to take to recover the cost
At the very least, in the current Chinese Empire, the pressure is still too great to undertake such a railway
Okay, Bochen, I admit it, I'm putting pressure on you again, so that we can first build a railway line from the capital to Harbin to Boli City and Vladivostok, which is always okay, the investment will not be too outrageous, and the resources of the northeastern provinces can also be transported by rail, tell you, where is there a big treasure in the east of our Qiqihar
Guo Ye said with a smile. The update is the fastest
treasure
Guo Songtao was surprised and said: Impossible, what kind of treasure, that dynasty and that force will bury the treasure in the distant Heilongjiang I am familiar with the scriptures and history, but I have never heard of it
Haha, Bochen
Guo Ye laughed and said, The treasure you are talking about is nothing more than gold and silver or pearl agate or the like, no matter which force of that dynasty, their gold and silver are limited after all, but the treasure I am talking about is not this, but the real treasure, a treasure that has never appeared in the past, where is not gold and silver, but the resource black gold that we can shock the world
Chen Hai was shocked and asked: Your Majesty, what you are saying is that there is a large amount of oil in that place in the northeast, it is impossible for Qiqihar to be inland, and as far as I know, all the oil deposits in the world are concentrated in the coastal zone, where does Qiqihar come from?
Yes, the chief is right.
Xue Fucheng also said: Your Majesty, we have been in the United States for a long time, almost all the oil in the United States is on the east coast or the Gulf of Mexico, even if it is other countries, the oil of Tsarist Russia is also near the Caspian Sea, all of them are coastal areas, Qiqihar is still thousands of kilometers away from the coast, how can there be oil deposits
Guo Ye smiled: It's not your fault, there is a sentence, have you heard of the vicissitudes of life
Xue Fucheng was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: Your Majesty, you mean, this Qiqihar used to be a sea, which is too incredible, how is it possible
The vicissitudes of life are not Taoist myths and legends, but really exist
Guo Ye replied: Now a theory has just emerged, called the theory of geological plate tectonics, the land we live in is constantly moving, with the movement, some land will be submerged and become the ocean, and some oceans will rise and expose the water and become land, the entire Northeast is the original ocean, understand?
That doesn't mean that if it's the ocean, there will be oil
Guo Songtao wondered, although he didn't know much about oil, but from the conversation between Guo Ye and Xue Fucheng and others, he also understood something, and even knew that the value of this oil was definitely comparable to gold
Don't worry, I said yes, then there must be, maybe now our technology is not able to reach the ability to develop that oil field, however, this day will not be too far away, even if the oil field can not be developed, there are a large number of timber Chinese medicine and even coal mines in the entire Northeast, these are also worth a lot, and the land of Heilongjiang is fertile, where will become the big granary of the whole China in the future, so it is imperative to build a railway trunk line
Guo Songtao said helplessly: Okay, but when it comes to the ugly words, we have already spent tens of millions of silver dollars because of the war, and now we have to develop another railway line from the capital to Harbin, and then to Qiqihar Boli and Vladivostok, our finances are too tight
Anyway
Guo Ye replied firmly: No matter what, let's do it first, five years, at most five years, the railway from Beijing to Qiqiharboli and Vladivostok must be completed and even in the future, we also need to extend the railway to Chunping, the hinterland of Siberia, and seize the time to deploy it in the Ministry of Public Transportation, complete the geological survey in the shortest possible time, and come up with a line plan
Yes, Your Majesty
Zhang Chunping hurriedly agreed.
The news that the Chinese Empire rejected the request for peace talks between Britain and France soon spread back to the British Empire, Duke Bit saw the telegram from the British minister, and was so angry that he almost fainted, wiping it, this Chinese Empire is really not in the oil and salt, this Guo Ye is too domineering, even Her Majesty the Queen doesn't pay attention to it, how can it be reasonable
This is not the most annoying, now the Russian company has sent information to Europe, the first army and the second army of the Chinese People's Army have crossed the Heilongjiang River, is advancing towards the hinterland of East Siberia, all the way to the east, all the way to the west, it seems that they want to rob East Siberia and Central and Siberia, now dozens of Tsarist settlements in East Siberia, tens of thousands of Tsarist Russian people have been hit and sent to Vladivostok, it seems that they are going to send them all to Europe by sea
Oh, my God
Alexander II that guy has no indication of what's not
Now Alexander II has demolished his dormitory, everything that can be smashed has been smashed, everything that can be smashed has been smashed, he is about to become a real madman, if the Chinese People's Army really takes Eastern Siberia and Central Siberia in one fell swoop at this time, the Russian army has suffered heavy losses, and there is no longer the strength to fight, they can only swallow this evil fruit
The Foreign Minister, Count Tumbith, laughed with a hint of schadenfreude.
You're still laughing
Could it be that the Chinese Empire has taken millions of square kilometers, so funny Now that the Chinese Empire has a large enough territory and the largest population in the world, if millions of square kilometers of land are added, then in the next few decades, the Chinese Empire will become the most formidable opponent of our British Empire, and may even break the world hegemony of our British Empire
Duke Bit shouted coldly: Go to Buckingham Palace immediately, we will go to see Her Majesty the Queen, we must stop the Chinese Empire from occupying the land of North Asia
To be continued.
